| Description: | The compounds were examined with membranes of recombinant CHO-ORL 1 cells in a receptor binding assay with 3H-nociceptin/orphanin FQ. This test system was conducted in accordance with the method outlined by Ardati et al. (Mol. Pharmacol., 51, 1997, pp. 816-824). The concentration of 3H-nociceptin/orphanin FQ amounted to 0.5 nM in these tests. The binding assays were conducted in each case on 20 ug of membrane protein per 200ul of preparation in 50 mM of HEPES, pH 7.4, 10 nM of MgCl2 and 1 mM of EDTA. The binding to the ORL 1-receptor was determined using 1 mg of WGA-SPA beads (Amersham-Pharmacia, Freiburg) in each case by incubating the preparation for one hour at RT and then conducting measurements in the Trilux scintillation counter (Wallac, Finland). |
